    chilli cook off

    im a chili lover too. long time ago i was amazed to find out that chilies are perenial even in canada or europe. same with physalis peruviana, just overwinters easy in a cellar, even without much light. this means no need for spring sowing. and waiting, till flowers emerge (so late till its allmost too late in the year anyway for fruiting)but fruits early summer allready. i remove most seeds if cooking for others... once i had a true chili expierience it felt like i was charged and i managed some of my wildest f***s whilst being on the chili high. some even mix chili in there mull mix. i naturaly love paprika the mild form, its for the beginners and allthough from suoth america its now called hungarian paprika, yummy stuff, said to aid protein digestion and anti clotting?

    Native Salvia ??

    hi, all two q: 1st, what (hopefully native)salvia is the one that grows at mt.warning and even a most of byron shires creeks...(took pics, but now have to wait) salvia ? dorias? got velvet, fury surface, minute blue flowers,some have a nice scent, bla,bla...square stem. 2 nd, because you talk natives here: once in central europe i grew some ozi solani seeds called something like solanum sodomgomorensis, it looked like a thornapple, a rather uninviting fruit to eat, protected with spikes everywhere. spikes to protect what for i reasoned, hmm... to protect the goodies and to safeguard from inproper use. the natives used solanis to abort... so the second latin name "the hint" tells me: either used as contraceptive or makes horny as goats. who knows? ------------------------------------------------- give this man a new, he deserves it!

    Anadenanthera colubrina germination?

    a simple lightbulbe fixture can be put underneath some shelving, or even put in an inflammeable box, which has a sort of glasshouse structure on the top... 40 watts cover you a 35cm by 50 cm hotbox. between the bulb and the pots ample space must be provided, using say dishes filled with sand. the pots themselves rest on some glassshelving. this apparatus was called a edwardian box and "in the good old days" a kerosine lamp was the heatsource. co2 was so produced and some (now seemingly)impossible tasks were performed. on ships those boxes transported stuff like the pinapple to england. it got there propagated and than sent of again to the colonies. gee, those people must have been good! leave a hole in the box so you see if the bulb is burned out. this is a very cheap bottomheat divice. i dont take any responibility for your handycraft skills, dont start fires...

    sceletium how to transport?

    i guess i wanted to be first known as somebody who knows "things". and the sphagnum methode works, but the person in question(its, not ed) forgot to save the rest of the parcel from nocking arround. in other words: this person did put the parcel prepared your way in a bigger one,without any material stopping it from shaking arround whilst transport took place... result: ;( :D [ 19.

    Dyplopteris, chaliponga, yaje, and boy am I tired.

    the plant is erythrina spp. in english coral tree! and i allways wondered why its so popular in sa. my innervoice tells me this is the stuff all those brujos are on.a ozy native form excists. mostly though the use is strictly ornamental/religious. why its so common is easy explained: its in abandunce there. excuse me freudian/jung thing again, but they just like it there (in south america) because it looks like a phimotic penis or/and like a virgin vagina...

    happiness is a sprouting seedling

    hi, all! thx to the white album i knew how to writte hapiness! torsten, you did well by sharing some of your seeds with me. i bet you knew allready 4 month ago allready that i (strikes eye brow with index finger)would succeed. in case that others out there have been /or are less successfull with these one, i say i did "things" to it. aswell i am greatfull to my late mother, green thumbs are genetic, and she tought me to be patient with seeds requiering long periods of stratification. her "thing" was growing ginko biloba from seed! that means chilling and a wait of up to 2 years! on the 14.09.02 i planted those seeds and on the 15.01.03 they emerged! surely by now you know what i am talking about. right away as a standard measurment i snail guarded those little beauties, nothing worse than after having overcome dormancy to see ones plantlets ending up as snailfood... bla, bla, bla, what am im talking about? ilex paraguariensis! others out there, pls tell me your mate story!

    happiness is a sprouting seedling

    lophs fruits are called chilitos (little chilis)and having many different gens certainly helps producing seeds(3 up to 4 in one red berry) lops are producing seeds and halus even if grown in canada or europe. so no reason to say it will not work!
